Is there any config files for xterm for default settings? For example, on my system, xterm start with black text on white background, and I want it the other way around. I can do it by starting it with:
xterm -bg black -fg white.
I want to set in a config file that if I run it without arguments, it will start with these options.

xterm*background: black
xterm*foreground: white
Then, run xrdb .Xdefaults and launch xterm :)
And here's a full guide to .Xdefaults if you want more:
